Overview of Prey

This program lets you keep track of and find your laptop, phone, and tablet whenever stolen or missing, efficiently and all in one place. It’s a lightweight, open-source software that gives you complete remote control 24/7.

You can quickly find out what the thief looks like, what he’s doing on your device, and where he’s hiding by using GPS or WiFi geopositioning.

By marking your device as missing, it will gather all the evidence you request and send it to your Control Panel account or your mailbox, depending on your chosen reporting method.

Moreover, you can also trigger actions remotely, such as sounding a loud alarm or showing a message which will appear onscreen.
